Let’s complete the school
to provide more opportunities!

Matany Girls’ Vocational School offers quality and relevant skills training programs to vulnerable girls in an area where life opportunities are limited. Economic hardship and logistical challenges force many out of school into unregulated economic sectors, particularly challenging and dangerous for girls. MGVS is the first vocational school exclusively for girls in Karamoja. Hear the school’s founder-director, Florence Naduk, explain why building the school became her life’s passion and what students there hope to gain.

The Matany Girls’ Vocational School, founded by Paul’s dear friend Florence Naduk, was supported and nurtured by Paul. The school trains and empowers young girls in vocational skills in the Karamoja region of Uganda. Since the school opened in late 2020, almost 200 girls have been housed and trained in tailoring, hairdressing, catering and hospitality. Future courses will include agri-business and construction.

Our PSP construction campaigns are literally changing the landscape of Karamoja at MGVS. Under Florence’s direction the school is becoming known as a centre of excellence where both Ugandan support organizations and international NGOs know their students will receive the professional skills training they deserve in their home region of Karamoja.

Join our caring donors and sponsors to provide opportunities for these young women who will have the power to improve their own lives and will impact their villages and communities. Support Paul’s project!
